Hello. First post.
Driving along and car quits. Put in 2 gal of gas and no start. Rode home in cab of a tow truck.
The only unusual problem is the gas gauge seems to be stuck on ½ tank and I believe I ran out of gas because of the false reading on the gas gauge.
Could this running out of gas have trashed [the original] fuel pump?
Why is the gas gauge stuck?
Are there fuses or relays I can check.
Could it be as simple as a clogged fuel filter?
Thank for your help.
